Can't believe the year is almost over...it's been a REALLY rough one financially but there have been GREAT things, too!

My son is doing well and has finally found a job he has stayed at...with an eye for moving up in the company no less...I think he finally realized he needs to get serious. He is still pretty broke but seems to be happy and moving in the right direction. Here's hoping he NEVER gets in the position I am financially...

I am out of that tiny dark apartment (after 7 years) and renting a nice house with plenty of windows, space, and a yard! Plus I have a great landlord who is letting me put in a garden! (I can't wait for spring!!!!) And I have a hot tub...how decadent is that...

I got my dog!!!! They thanked ME for rescuing HER...that is NOT what happened...SHE RESCUED ME! She adopted me the minute I took her out of her foster parent's arms! She literally kissed me for 20 minutes then sat on my lap for the 1 1/2 hour drive home! She is always excited to see me and loves to do whatever it is that I'm doing...she is a constant, loving, amazing, crazy sweetheart!

I am still alive and I am NOT beaten yet!

Weighing in ideas?
I am just wondering about weighing in - what works best for you guys?

I know that if I weigh myself everyday I drive myself crazy with the little ups and downs (which are often just changes in my fluid levels anyway - these are either so exciting or so depressing - but NOT real weight changes!).

If I don't weigh myself everyday it is easier to eat a lot right after a weigh in and then try to starve right before the next one so it looks like I lost weight (this also may or may not be real gain or loss - I think usually NOT a loss!).

Just curious what works best for other people.
Thanks!

GIVING TEENAGERS DIET ADVICE ON THIS SITE
Dear Softball1394 - your bio and journaling were the reason I posted this issue. My post was telling adults not to give teenagers diet and exercise advise as this should only be given by trained professionals. I would like to point out what I did not say in my post. First of all I didn't say that teenagers should not try to lose weight - many should. None of them, however, should do it without advice from a professional about the best way for them to achieve that goal. I never said or implied that eating healthy was not a good choice for teenagers - or anyone else for that matter. I never said all teenagers are desperate to lose weight or that they would do anything to do it. I never said that all teenagers stop eating or turn to throwing up, or that they are going to destroy their lives if they diet, and I never implied that they are stupid. The fact that you read all that into my post shows a level of immaturity and insecurity that you in fact talk about in your writings. You stated you are 14 years old and weigh 136 pounds. You want to lose 11 pounds in 10 weeks - that may or may not be a problem - I do not have the training to make that determination. The problem I do have is that you say that you are the only fat girl in your school. You also say that you have no confidence or self esteem and that you are weighing yourself 3 times a day. You state that you need to change your life now 'before it is too late'. You also talk about having 750 calories but how that is better than 1800 a day. You also mention having 'cheating days'. For those of you who are adults out there please read her bio and posts. How many of you can see yourselves in this young woman when you were at the beginning of your weight struggle? The only thing I posted was a warning to adults to refrain from giving diet and exercise advice to teenagers - no matter how well intended. The fact that this young woman thought it was about how stupid teenagers are worries me even more.

GIVING TEENAGERS DIET ADVICE ON THIS SITE
I am VERY CONCERNED about the number of teenagers on this site who are receiving nutrition and diet advice from members who have no training in this area. These teenagers have bodies that are still developing and it is DANGEROUS and INEXCUSABLE to be giving advice to them about what to eat, how much to eat or their exercise programs unless you have medical training in those areas. Please do not jeopardize their futures trying to help - even though everyone on this site has the BEST of intentions it is absolutely wrong to give advice. Please, please, please refer them to a doctor or a nutritionist before they end up in a lifetime struggle with their weight with sometimes horrific consequences - you do not want to be a reason why they can't have children someday or they begin to have stress fractures or they develop a myriad of other physical problems or emotional complications - many things can come from malnutrition and malnutrition has nothing to do with calories. There are too many things that can happen. Thank you

Hot Chocolate Story
No - it means you are a normal person - I would have done the same. There is nothing wrong with liking nice things. What a dark world it would be if nobody ever wanted them!
